Tipping Point: The True Story of the Limits to Growth

For those of you who like podcasts, we recommend this brilliant and well-researched story of the Limits to Growth, and the pivotal role that the one-of-a-kind Donella Meadows played and continues to play to inspire us. She is one of the biggest inspirations for the creation of Ecological Economics for All as she believes that breaking through barriers of academia and making sustainability knowledge accessible to the masses was key to shift the paradigm. 

Ecological Economics for All is supporting the widespread popularization of this amazing story, alongside the Academy for Systems Change (another organization based in VT to continue Meadows’ legacy), which has influenced the development of ecological economics and systems dynamics.

The ISEE Journal, Ecological Economics

Access the Latest Issue

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between «nature’s household» (ecosystems) and «humanity’s household» (the economy).

Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics.

The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
